"My parting shot, as soon as we came back from the first half we came across to Sali and Gordinho went to him, 'Shabba' [Siphiwe Tshabalala] went to him, 'Rama' [Ramahlwe Mphahlele] went to him, almost the whole team went to him as he was stretched off to the clinic or wherever," said Komphela.

"We say, on behalf of Kaizer Chiefs players, Gordinho, staff, supporters and all that, we wish him a speedy recovery. He's a hell of a great player, supporters enjoyed him.

"We hope to see him very soon back in the match so that he can come and help his team. We wish him a speedy recovery."

The Lady Frere-born Sali, who joined Chippa from Polokwane City in the 2013/14 season, has featured in 20 out of 24 league matches this campaign.
